In 1966,Andy Dufesne escaped from Shawshank Prison.
No turning back.He wriggles into the pipe and starts crawling,plastic bag dragging behind.
Andy crawled to freedom through five hundred yards of shit-smelling foulness.
He wades upstream,ripping his clothes from his body.He gets his shirt off,spins it through the air over his head,flings the shirt away.He raises his arms to the sky,turning slowly,feeling the rain washing him clean.Exultant.Triumphant.A FLASH OF LIGHTNING arcs from horizon to horizon.
...a man nobody ever laid eyes on before strolled into the Casco Bank of Portland.Until that moment,he didn't exist--except on paper.He had all the proper I.D. Driver's license,birth certificate,social security card.The signature was a spot-on match.
Mr.Stevens visited nearly a dozen banks in the Portland area that morning.All told,he blew town with better than 370 thousand dollars of Warden Norton's money.Severance pay for nineteen years.It floats around.Has to land on somebody.Say a storm comes through.Some folks sit in their living rooms and enjoy the rain.The house next door gets torn out of the ground and smashed flat.It was my turn,that's all.I was in the path of the tornado.I just had no idea the storm would go on as long as it has.
...dreams where I am lost in a warm place with no memory.
Zihuatanejo.
Mexico.Little place right on the Pacific.You know what the exicans say about the Pacific?They say it has no memory.That's where I'd like to finish out my life,Red.A warm place with no memory.Open a little hotel right on the beach.Buy some worthless old boat and fix it up like new.Take my guests out charter fishing.
Not me.I didn't shoot my wife and I didn't shoot her lover,and whatever mistakes I made I've paid for and then some.That hotel and that boat...I don't think it's too much to want.To look at the stars just after sunset.Touch the sand.Wade in the water.Feel free.You're right.It's down there,and I'am in here.I guess it comes down to a simple choice,really.Get busy living or get busy dying.Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.some birds aren't meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are just too bright...
